SIBI-P1 Translation H935-247
and may he come
| Morphological Notes | Qal stem; 3rd person masculine singular; jussive form with prefixed conjunction וְ ('and'). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple action of coming or entering. As a 3rd person masculine singular jussive with prefixed conjunction, it conveys a volitional nuance: 'and may he come,' preserving both the root sense of movement toward a point and the jussive force. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and he will come
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Changed from 'and may he come' to 'and he will come' to match the consecutive imperfect's future sense in context, as it parallels the certainty of the similes. The cohortative/modal is not warranted here. |
